The usual sight of folks with trolleys of  flat screen TVs to printers in tow are back this weekend at Suntec City, thanks to the Comex 2011 show.

With bargain basement prices for items such as TVs – a Toshiba 42-incher for going for just S$549 – and laptops bundled with all sorts of freebies, the tech bazaar promises good deals for folks who brave the human jam at the halls in Suntec City.

Here are some hot deals that Techgoondu sussed out yesterday while there for a quick walkthrough:

Goondu review: HP Envy 14 Beats Edition with Intel “Sandybridge”

Months after Apple’s MacBook Pro started sporting Intel’s “Sandybridge” CPUs, HP has finally caught up in the game by shipping its much-awaited update to the Envy 14 Beats Edition premium laptop.

Like the previous Envy 14 Beats Edition, this top-end laptop is dressed in all black and comes with a sturdy build that looks ready to take some tough knocks. The Singapore version – there’s only one model here – comes with Intel’s second generation Core i7-2630QM chip, 8GB of RAM, a 750GB hard disk and AMD Radeon HD6630 switchable graphics.

The all-rounder laptop, weighing about 2.5kg, comes with a reasonably-sized 14.5-inch screen that should do well either at a desk or perhaps if you were to carry it to school. Quality-wise, this Envy 14 is a rare laptop that can stand up to Apple’s excellent MacBook Pro.
